What can bettors expect from Michigan football in Week 4?
On Saturday, Michigan showcased an exceptional performance, leaving little room for improvement.
Michigan dominated in their 59-0 victory against Connecticut, racking up an impressive 465 yards of offense and holding the Huskies to a mere 110 yards.
J.J. McCarthy proved himself as the undisputed top quarterback, completing 15 out of 18 passes for 214 yards. Blake Corum showcased his prowess as a touchdown machine, finding the end zone five times on 12 carries for a total of 71 yards.
Cade McNamara, the previous starting quarterback, sustained a leg injury on Saturday that will keep him sidelined without a defined timeframe for recovery.
In 2022, Michigan’s defense has showcased its dominance by only permitting 194 yards and 5.7 points per game. However, they face a formidable challenge this week as they go up against Maryland’s offense, which has been averaging an impressive 40.3 points and 502 yards per game.
U-M might face a challenging task dealing with Terrapins QB Taulia Tagovailoa, who has amassed 895 yards and six touchdowns in just three games. Tagovailoa has displayed excellent distribution skills, with five different receivers accumulating over 90 yards so far this season.
The performance of the Maryland defense has been rather lackluster, as they surrender an average of 392 yards per game. Their pass defense is particularly concerning, ranking 108th in the country and conceding an average of 273.7 yards per contest.
On Saturday, McCarthy and Corum will have an opportunity to enhance their pursuit of the Heisman Trophy. McCarthy’s odds of winning at DraftKings Sportsbook MI are +2000, whereas Corum’s odds stand at +8000. Notably, Corum is currently tied for the nation’s highest number of rushing touchdowns, having scored 7.
